Hip Armour - SV650.org

Thanks to all who answered my back armour question! Got that sorted now.

Next question - I have leather trousers which don't have pockets for hip armour - can you get seperate armour like the back protectors to protect the hips >>?

cheers!

Just about any armour could be I suppose. Or any leather repairs place could sew in pockets for you. While mine was still in the process of healing I taped a Knox kneepad to the outside of my leathers with lots of gaffer tape. This looked about as good as you'd expect.

The knox hip armour I had in my jeans had a velcro backing to match that on the jeans - some stick-on or sew-in velcro tape will let you put the armour into anything, plus you can then take it out for washing, etc. I had no problems with the velcro/armour moving when I came off.
